"419" Scam – Advance Fee / Fake Lottery Scam

The so-called "419" scam is a type of fraud dominated by criminals from Nigeria and other countries in Africa. Victims of the scam are promised a large amount of money, such as a lottery prize, inheritance, money sitting in some bank account, etc.

Victims never receive this non-existent fortune but are tricked into sending their money to the criminals, who remain anonymous. They hide their real identity and location by using fake names and fake postal addresses as well as communicating via anonymous free email accounts and mobile phones.

Keep in mind that scammers DO NOT use their real names when defrauding people.
The criminals either abuse names of real people or companies or invent names or addresses.
Any real people or companies mentioned below have NO CONNECTION to the scammers!

Some comments by the Scam-O-Matic about the following email:

An email address listed inside this email has been used in a known fraud before.
This email uses a separate reply address that is different from the sender address. Spammers use this to get replies even when the original spam sending accounts have been shut down. Also, sometimes the sender addresses are legitimate looking but fake and only the reply address is actually an email account controlled by the scammers.
The following phrases in this message should put you on alert:
- "million dollars" (they want you to be blinded by the prospect of quick money, but the only money that ever changes hands in 419 scams is from you to the criminals)
- "hundred thousand united states dollars" (they want you to be blinded by the prospect of quick money, but the only money that ever changes hands in 419 scams is from you to the criminals)
- "robert mugabe" (the name of a person or institution often appearing in 419 scams)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
This email lists free webmail addresses. Use of such addresses is typical for scams. Lotteries, banks and any but the smallest of companies do not normally use such addresses. Criminals use them to anonymously send and receive email at Internet cafes.

Dear Sir,

My name is Mrs. Angela Campbell, the first wife of Mr Mike Campbell of
Zimbabwe died on April 6th, aged 78.He was killed By president mugabe and
you can read the story below.Now i am so sick and need a beneficiary that
is capable of helping me as i have children Bruce,Cathy and Laura.

During the current war against the farmers in Zimbabwe from the support of
our President Robert Mugabe to claim all the white-owned farms to his party
members and his followers,he ordered all white farmers to surrender all
their farms to his party members and his followers.

My Husband is one of the best farmers in our country, and the President to
the Farmers associations in Zimbabwe. And because he did not support
Mugabe's
ideas,Mugabe's supporters invaded my Husband farm and burnt everything in
the farm,and killed my Husband and made away with a lot of items in my
Husband's farm.

Before his death, my Husband had deposited with one of the Security
Companies in EUROPE the sum of $30.5 Million Dollars (Thirty Million five
hundred Thousand United States Dollars). Which I didn't know until last
week.

After the death of my Husband, I decided to move to the United Kingdom, I
decided to contact an overseas firm/individual and companies that will
assist me to move this money out because as asylum seekers we are not
allowed to operate any bank account or even to do any business is not
allowed.

In addition to this as I earlier stated I will also send you a copy of the
CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT this you will hold as proof that you are my trustee.

And I will give you my word as a mother that you have nothing to worry
about as this project is absolutely 100% risk free and it can in no way
bring you into any problem whatsoever.You would need to give me sufficient
assurance that if you help me, you would not divert the funds.

Me and my children have resolved to give you 40% of the total sum and 10%
set aside for any expenses incurred by you will be refunded back to you
after the funds are released to you. For this is all me and my children
have got to live on Please, I have reposed my confidence in you and hope
you will not disappoint me.

I look forward to your urgent response, including your full mailing address
indicating your private phone / mobile numbers and also your fax numbers
with any of your pictures for easier communication.

Please, your Advice on any investment in your country or anywhere will be
appreciated.

I will really be very grateful if we can work this out urgently.

Best Regards,

Mrs Angela Campbell
